the mystery of the Three is that no one knew who had them apart from the ring-bearers themselves, even though people guessed it was those three. It made sense that Lothlorien, Rivendell and Mithlond would be secure against Sauron, simply because their rulers were powerful in their own right- the best disguise for the Three Rings. Even Gandalf didn't show any hint of wearing the ring until the very end. You'd think Saruman would take Narya if he knew about it, but he didn't. I guess he figured himself a Ring-Maker and above the Elvish Three Rings, hence he didn't bother looking for them. He would know about the Three and decide that they wouldn't give him any power, so even if he knows he won't bother to look for them.

Apparently there's a flaw inherent in Ring-of-Power making.

It does sound a bit haughty; and, a contradiction for Galadriel?
